Solar Still; Unrevealed Facts And Reasons Causing Its Low Productivity

As the current techniques for water desalination are very costly because of the high demand of electrical power or fossil fue, desalination of seawater using solar energy is one of the ways to meet the growing water demand at low cost. With the technologies currently available, solar still fresh wa...

With the technologies currently available, solar still fresh water production rate is very low, compared to other techniques. The low production rate has been the main reason behind the lack of industrial usage of solar stills.
